I've just adopted another cat from the humane society (a 1 year old short hair), when he was there he was strictly getting IAMS dry & wet food. My other cat had been eating Blue Buffalo limited ingredients formula and had no problems with it, and Natural Balance wet food pouches. When I try to introduce the dry food to the new cat, he just picks out the IAMS kibble and has no interest in any other wet food. Now my other cat would rather eat the IAMS as well :(. Does anyone have any suggestions for other kibble or wet food to try that might interest cats that only want IAMS? 

Thanks!

Fortunately my kitten (13 months) is not particularly finicky at the moment.  She has been known to eat practically everything I offer to her.  She's a rescue shelter cat, so she was used to kibble and I continue to include kibble in her rotation.  Of the various kibble brands she has eaten, she seems to enjoy these brands the most;

Rachael Ray Nutrish Salmon

Purina Beyond Superfood Blend Herring

Iams Proactive Kitten [chicken]

As for wet food, my gal is enthusiastic about these recipes;

Purina Beyond Turkey & Sweet Potato

Natural Value Sardine & Shrimp

Sheba Chicken Entree

Sheba Turkey Entree

Purina Pro Plan True Nature Beef & Giblets

Is your first cat on Blue Buffalo limited ingredient formula for a specific health reason?  If not, is there some reason you don't want to feed Iams kibble, since they both like it?  Also, WHICH Iams wet food?  They have a couple of lines, and the reason I ask is so we can help you with the following:

If you want suggestions, we need to know your parameters, ie  no grains, no fish, no this or that, certain dollar limits, etc.?
